Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron is a series of watches launched by Jacob & Co. (Czech Leopard) and Bugatti. Inspired by the Bugatti Chiron super sports car, it combines the mechanical charm of the car with the exquisite craftsmanship of the watch, and is highly innovative and artistic. The following is a detailed introduction for you:
Background of cooperation
In 2019, Bugatti Automobile and Jacob & Co. reached a cooperation agreement, and both parties are committed to creating unparalleled timepieces inspired by supercars. Both brands focus on ultimate luxury, mechanical performance and craftsmanship. Bugatti's cutting-edge concepts and designs provide inspiration for Jacob & Co., and Jacob & Co.'s "inspiration comes from the impossible" concept also drives both parties to continue to innovate in the field of watchmaking.

Design features
Exterior design: The design of the case is directly inspired by the Bugatti Chiron sports car. Its shape combines glass and metal materials, and the structural elements echo Bugatti's iconic horseshoe grille, quarter windows, muscular body and eye-catching headlights. Through the unique design, from the case to the movement, people can feel the charm of Bugatti sports cars, and the operation of the internal movement can be clearly seen through the seven sapphire panels.
Movement design: The Caliber JCAM37 movement has a unique architecture inspired by Bugatti's engine. It is equipped with a miniature W-shaped 16-cylinder engine block automatic device, four spiral springs as shock absorbers, and a tubular structure around the 30-degree inclined flying tourbillon, like a protective frame, which highly restores the characteristics of the car engine from appearance to function.
Automatic device: Press the crown on the right side of the watch, the engine will start, the crankshaft will turn, and the 16 pistons will move up and down in the cylinder made of sapphire. At the same time, the two "turbochargers" on both sides of the engine will also rotate with the operation of the engine, bringing a very shocking visual effect.
Power reserve display: It has a power reserve of 60 hours. Its power reserve display is designed in the style of a car oil gauge. The edge of the dial at 9 o'clock also has a universal gas pump symbol, which is very distinctive. Moreover, the movement's travel system and the dynamic system do not use the same set of springs, and need to be wound by turning the crown clockwise and counterclockwise respectively.
Craftsmanship and materials
The case is made of all sapphire crystal, which is a top achievement in advanced watchmaking. Since sapphire is extremely hard, reaching Mohs hardness level 9, it needs to be made with diamond cutting and polishing tools, and it takes several months of computer-aided design, manufacturing and traditional manual polishing to complete. For the manual polishing alone, a craftsman needs to spend about 120 hours, which shows the complexity and exquisiteness of its craftsmanship.

Here are some similar collaborative watches for you:
Jacob & Co. Bugatti Tourbillon: This is another masterpiece launched by Jacob & Co. in collaboration with Bugatti after the Chiron series. It is made of black PVD titanium and has a large case size of 52x44x15mm. The design echoes the Bugatti supercar of the same name. The case has a shape similar to the front grille, and there is a sapphire crystal window on the side of the watch, just like the window of a supercar. The dial design is unique. The upper part is inspired by the instrument of a supercar, with functions such as a tourbillon and power reserve display, and the hour and minute information is presented in a retrograde manner; the lower part is an automatic device that simulates a V16 engine. When the button is pressed, the crankshaft will rotate, driving the "cylinder" up and down, which is very realistic.
Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti 390 watch: Parmigiani Fleurier has been working with Bugatti since 2004. The Bugatti 390 watch was launched for the launch of the Bugatti Chiron. It uses a cylinder-type mechanical movement, a purely mechanical structure, and is equipped with a one-minute flying tourbillon, showing top watchmaking craftsmanship. The case design is sporty and exaggerated, maintaining a streamlined appearance like a Bugatti supercar, and carbon fiber shells are used on both sides, echoing the Chiron. This series currently has a variety of styles, which is a model of the combination of supercars and watchmaking art.
